Description

Authors: SIDA , Aichi Kitalyi , Alphonce Musili , Fredrick Ogutu , Jorge Suazo , Regional Land Management Unit (RELMA)

Field guide developed by the Regional Land Management Unit (RELMA), a part of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) .

Enclosures to protect and conserve is a field guide for frontline extension staff and development agents working with pastoral or agropastoral communities to improve their land resources. The content is based on the RELMA Technical Report No. 22, We work together – land rehabilitation and household dynamics in Chepareria Division, West Pokot District, Kenya.

The key to land recovery in West Pokot and similar communities has been to demarcate and secure individual tenure of farm property. Once this is achieved, owners may choose to fence portions of their land for controlling the grazing and improving the plant cover. This guide provides useful information about six grasses and six agroforestry trees one should include in any effort to re-vegetate degraded rangeland.
